Who Framed Marowak Wakback

Chapter 7

By Marowak Wakback

Note – I do not own the song “Viva Rock” by Orange Range. I just wanted to use this song rather then what Roger Rabbit, “The Marry Go Round Broke Down”, because it wouldn’t sit right. Savey? Oh good. No worries then. Lets continue.

Ash and Flannery run through the door and up the stairs until they could the bar in full view. What they saw strange to say the least. All of the average drunks, even the depressed ones, were clapping, cheering, and Laughing with Marowak as he stood on top of a table with his bonesword in hand, acting like it was mike. He was mouthing out a song that was coming out from the recorder player.

“Have you ever heard of the orange range?” Yelled Marowak in a sergeant voice.

“Have you Even heard of the Orange range?” yelled everybody else in the bar.

“COME ON MATIES!! Don't tell your mama or she'll think you're insane.” Marowak continued.

“Don’t tell your mama or she’ll think you’re insane.”

“YOUR PATHETIC!! All the pretty girls listen and pertain,”

“All the pretty girls listen and pertain,”

“MOVE IT. MOVE IT! MOVE IT!! Our music's best for highway speeding.”

“Our music is best for highway speeding.”

“ALLLLLLLL RIGHT!!”

“All around the world, see Looking up at the laughing sky

Now get up stand up. Oh yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!”

“HI say! The world spins Just for you the morning comes

Color of skin, color of eyes Even values are various

This and that all bare footed Hug & Kiss I love you

Now, let's see what you've got JAPANESE PEOPLE!”

“All around the world, see Looking up at the laughing sky

Now get up stand up. Oh yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!

All around the world, see They’re changing They’re doing their best

Now get up stand up. Oh yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!”

“The world is huge wide beyond your borders

Big people Small people BIBIDDY BOBBIDY BOO!

So don't be troubled You are yourself

This world is seriously limitless

Now Step together 1, 2, 1, 2!”

“All around the world, see Looking up at the laughing sky

Now get up stand up. Oh yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!

All around the world, see They’re changing They’re doing their best

Now get up stand up. Oh yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!”

“At times humans lose their way cry even still, They look to the sky

A flower burns fiery red Stepping the vast earth

The voice of a friend's laugh I picture your smile

A warm sunshine Power falling from the heavens Let’s go From the Beginning”

“All around the world, see Looking up at the laughing sky

Now get up stand up. Oh yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!

All around the world, see They’re changing They’re doing their best

Now get up stand up. Oh yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!”

As the song ended everybody cheered as Marowak took a bow. “Thank you very much. I’m here on Thursdays. Spread the veal.” Ash looked stunned that Marowak would even consider something like this. He quickly stormed over to where Marowak was standing, grabbed him by the back of his leather jacket and dragged him to the back room.

“You Bonehead!!! I put my neck out on the line for you, and what are you doing? Your doing karaoke!!” Ash Ranted.

“Lighten up Ketchum. I was just…” Marowak Protested but Ash cut Him off.

“SIT DOWN!!!” Ash Yelled in Marowak’s bony face. Surprised by Ash’s anger, he quickly sat down on a near by stool.

“Come on Ketchum, does guys needed a good laugh!” Marowak continued from where Ash interrupted him.

“Oh sure, make ‘em Laugh. Then, while there all on the ground laughing there’s asses off, Damien can rat you out to the cops for a dime.” Ash sarcastically replied to Marowak statement.

“Damien? No way! He wouldn’t do that!” Said Marowak.

“Ha! 10cents, he’d call the cops, 20cents, he’d turn you himself!” Ash said as he laughed in his face.

“No he wouldn’t! He needed to laugh a true laugh. And as saying goes, “Laughter is the bast medicine.” You should really…” Marowak’s speech was interrupted by a blinking red light.

“Shhh…” Ash shushed Marowak and walled over to a nearby peephole in the wall to see what was going on in the bar that would make Flannery set of the silent alarm.

Flannery continued to push the silent alarm button under the table as she watched a tall creepy man in a red suit walk up the stares. The man was the judge Ash met earlier, Giovanni.

As Giovanni Stepped on the last step, followed by 5 Sneasel Morphs behind him, he spoke “I’m looking for a murderer.” Said Giovanni out loud to anyone in particular in a monotone voice. “A Pokemorph. Brown skin, and a Skill for a head.”

“Well, as you can see, there’s no one with that description. So stop making trouble in my bar and get out!” Said Flannery as she pointed to the exit. She was answered by a snarling Sneasel morph.

Giovanni turned to her and gave her a smile that sent shivers down her spine. “I’m sorry my dear, but I didn’t come here to make trouble. I came here to make a reward.” With that said, Giovanni walked up to a wall at the end of the bar where a one armed man was sitting. Over the counter, was a chalkboard that had the menu of today’s special. Giovanni grabbed the rolled up sleeve of the one armed man and rubbed off the words. He then grabbed a piece of chalk from the chalkboard and started to write on the board.

Each word he wrote was equal to 20 nails on a chalkboard. It made every drunk in the bar, Flannery behind the counter, the 5 Sneasel Morphs, Ash and Marowak all cringe. Finally, Giovanni stopped writing and revealed what he wrote ‘TODAY’S SPECIAL: DIPPED MORPH, $5000’ Flannery paled when she heard a whistle come from Damien’s lips.

“Damn. Hey, I’ve seen a Morph.” Said Damien with a smug grin on him face.

In the rut-gut room,

“I told you.” Ash whispered to a shocked Marowak.

Back to the bar,

Giovanni loamed closer to him to here his words clearly “Where?” Giovanni asked.

“What? Can’t you see him? He’s sitting right next to me.” Damien said as he pretended to put his arm over someone’s shoulder “Say hello… Kecleon Cloud.” As soon as Damien said that, the 5 Sneasels Morphs started to laugh, then the whole bar as well.

In the Rut-Gut Room, Marowak smirked “I told you.” Replied Marowak, using the same words that Ash just you’d a few minutes ago.

Back in the Bar, Giovanni growled as his anger began to rise. All of the sudden, he heard a recorder player’s needle skipping over and over again revolving recorder disk. Giovanni settled his anger and walked over to it and stopped the recorder player. He placed needle on the holder and picked up the black dick. Looking at the words in the center of the disk, he finally spoke. “Hmmm… “Viva Rock” by Orange Range. An interesting upbeat choice for a bunch of run down Drunks.” Giovanni stated as all the people in the shifted uncomfortably. Giovanni sniffed the disk then grinned. “…He’s here!” Giovanni yelled and tossed the disk over right over the peephole where Ash was looking.

“You want us to level the place, boss?” Joe T. asked.

“No, that will not be necessary. That Bonehead is going to come right to me.” Said Giovanni then turned to Jack. “Bring me the case.” Giovanni ordered Jack. Jack nodded his head and went outside to the truck. “Tell me, dose anyone know what the ancestors of Marowak’s were?” Giovanni asked out loud to anyone in the bar. Everyone was silent. “I didn’t think so. You see, Back before Pokemorphs where around, Marowaks guarded the graveyards of the dead pokemon. Pokemon graveyards were and still are considered holy ground and should never be disturbed by anyone other then Cubones or Marowaks.”

At this point, Giovanni’s little speech caught Marowak’s attention. “What?! No human should ever know that!” Marowak growled as Ash helled him back.

“Calm down Bonehead. We don’t know what that bastard is up to.”

Back in the bar, Giovanni continued, “The reason Marowak consider pokemon graveyard holy ground and should be disturbed is because they think that if the all the bones of a dead pokemon are destroyed unnaturally. Then that pokemon’s spirit will be pulled out of heaven and forever doomed to walk the earth as not a ghost pokemon, but just as a ghost forever.” Giovanni grinned.

Jack then came back up the stairs with a case in his claw. “This belief is so strong that it’s been passed down the Marowak family for generation, and has even gone to pokemorphs family line as well. Many a time a Marowak, weather pokemon or Pokemorph, will lash out at someone simply because someone broke a bone of a dead pokemon. It’s because of this belief that will be Marowak Wakback’s down fall.” Stated Giovanni. Jack handed Giovanni the silver case and opened it. Inside the case was a full set of Charmander bones. “A Young Charmander has a total of 143 bones in its body. Lets see how many broken bones it will take to bring him out.” Said Giovanni as he grabbed a femur from the cast and with his thumb, snapped the bone in half.

Marowak’s pupils shrank, he started to snarl and foam at the mouth. “That Bastard…” Marowak growled as he got up from his seat, but Ash pushed him back down.

“Calm down, it’s just one bone. That little Charmander is still in Poke-heaven.”

‘Snort! Snort! Snort.’ “Alright, your right. It’s just one bone. No biggie.” Stated Marowak, trying to gain control of his Anger.

“Hmmm… Nothing.” Said Giovanni, looking around for Marowak. After a few seconds of nothing, Giovanni continued “Well if a femur won’t bring him out, how about a whole ribcage?” Giovanni Asked out loud. He picked up the ribcage with both hands and crushed all of them into dust.

“Grrrrr… I’m… Gonna… Kill Him…” Snarled Marowak through his teeth. Ash tried to get him under control again, but he found that his coat was caught on an old nail on the wall.

“Keep a leveled hand Marowak!” Ash said while trying to get his coat uncaught.

“Still nothing. Hmmm… I admire your endurances Marowak.” Giovanni stated as he grabbed the Charmarder skull. His grip on the Skull got titter until you could see cracks appear on it.”

‘Slash! Slash!’

Giovanni Grinned as Marowak came bursting through the wall with his bonesword in hand. “YOU BRAKE THAT SKULL AND I’LL KILL YOU!!!” Yelled Marowak as he ran up to Giovanni and snatched the Charmander skull out of his hands. Marowak then felt a sharp and cold blow to his back and fell to the ground. Psi and Victor used a combo of Icy Wind and Slash to knock him out.

“Bonehead…” Ash growled as a Tommy gun from Joe was pointed at his head.

“Hey boss. What should he do with the Wallflower over here?” Joe asked.

“Deal with him later.” Giovanni Stated as he grabbed the semiconscious Earth Morph by the back of his jacket. “Right now I feel like serving up some justice. Bring me some dip.”

‘Uh… Wh-what happened.’ Marowak thought to himself.

“Right now I feel like serving up some justice.” Marowak heard a voice.

‘Who’s voice… Wait a sec? That’s Giovanni. What he mean justice?’

“Bring me some dip.”

“Oh, that’s what.”

Two Sneasel Morphs, Victor and a Bigger looking Sneasel Morph known as Edgar D, brought up a Barrel of Dip and placed it in front of counter of the bar. Giovanni and the smell of death entered the nostrils of all the morphs in the room. The 5 Sneasel morphs covered their noses to block the stench. The smell entered the nostrils on Marowak bony muzzle and returned him back to consciousness. “Huh? What the…?!” Was all Marowak got in as Giovanni tried to push his head into the deadly liquid.

“Oh, you’re awake. Does the condemned have any last words before his sentence is carried out?” Giovanni Asked.

“Yeah, just two. Fuck You.” Marowak growled through his teeth. Giovanni was not amused as he tried to push Marowak head into the dip. But Marowak latched his fingers onto the edge of the barrel so Giovanni couldn’t push him in.

Ash noticed the sweat that was coming off of his face, that combo attack really did a number on him. Slowly, Marowak’s bony face inched closer and closer to the dip. Then Ash got an idea. “Flannery.” Ash whispered to Flannery who was still behind the counter. “Pour me a Vodka.”

“Oh that’s a fine time for that, Ketchum!” Flannery angrily whispered in reply to Ash’s Request. “Maybe you’d like some Pretzels to go with that.”

“Just do it!” Ash said, becoming just a little annoyed with Flannery’s response. Flannery didn’t press it any further and got Ash his drink. Drink in hand, Ash walked over to Giovanni and Marowak. “Hey Judge. Doesn’t a Dying Pokemorph deserve on last drink?”

“…Well why not. After all, I do believe fair last minute request.” Stated Giovanni as he and one of the Sneasel Morphs held Marowak’s Arms.

Ash walked up to Marowak’s face and whispered in ear “I bet your scared shitless right now, right?” Ash asked.

“No shit!” Marowak snapped back. “I’m being condemned for a crime I had no part in, and I’m I about to be pushed to my death. Wouldn’t you scared shitless?”

“Yes. Yes I would. Now you keep thinkin’ like that as you drink this down.” Ash calmly replied. With that said, Ash bent Marowak’s head back, opened his mouth and dumped the alcohol down Marowak’s throat.

Like last night in Gary’s office, Marowak’s eyes went blood shut and a punch drunk look was on his face. He quickly shot back up on his feet and turned to Giovanni. “Ya No what?” Marowak started in a drunken voice “I Neva like’d u.” Marowak stated he pulled his Arms away from Giovanni and Edgar. He leaned up three inches away from Giovanni face. “Ju 'twene u an me…” Marowak Whispered to Giovanni. “I vot’d fer da uder guy. HAHA!!” Marowak Laughed out loud in Giovanni’s face then jumped back and staggered back and froth in a fighting stance.

“Grrrr… Don’t just stand there! Shoot him!!” Giovanni yelled at the Sneasel Morphs. The ones that hade guns fired, but he just ducked behind a knocked over table while the Sneasel’s unloaded there guns. While this was happening, Ash this open opportunity to give Victor a good left hook and sent him flying into the counter edge. This caught the other Sneasel’s attention and turned away from Marowak. Bad Move.

“Hey! Look at me wen I’m talking to u!” Yelled Marowak as he charged at the 4 Sneasel Morph and with a swift set of unpredictable Punches and Kicks, knocked the 4 Dark Morphs away. Victor, gaining enough of his senesces, grabbed an empty bottle from behind the Bar and chuck’s it at Marowak’s Head. The Bottle hits his head and shatters on impacted and knock’s Marowak out of drunken fist land and back into reality. “Ow… What happened?” Marowak asked out loud.

“You got drunk! Come on, we gotta go!” Ash yelled as he and Marowak ran out the bar. Inside, The drunks were hiding under tables, Flannery was behind the counter, and 5 Sneasel Morphs and a Judge were now pissed off.
